Struisbaai, 06th December, 2009: Shane Kempen, NSRI Agulhas station commander said: “On the 01st December, this trawler, pictured below, ran aground at Struisbaai mini breakwater in the harbour after drifting onto the rocks while attempting to berth.
“The harbour master requested the NSRI to respond to the scene at 16h17 and on arrival on-scene it was determined that all crew had managed to get off the Chokka fishing boat Stella and no lives were at risk and no one was injured and the NSRI were not required on the scene as no lives were in any danger.
“The vessel was taken off the rocks and berthed at high tide later that evening by the owners using an excavator and ropes.”
